Am D
She was not the girl next door
G C
But the girl from 'round the corner
Am D
S'at the tail end of grade four
G C
When she came to school one morning
C D G G/F# Em
All eyes were upon her as she took her seat
C D G G/F# Em
Her name was Amanda, with pretty eyes of green
C D G
And hair of blonde, strawberry blonde
Springtime and dandelions
Em Bm C G
And by her face there was no way to tell
C G D B7
It seemed like all was well in her world
Em Bm C G
But the neighbours said her mother had lost her will
C G
To gin and sleeping pills
D G
It was no life for a little girl

Still I see her face framed in blue sky

And they were gone,
D G
Two strawberry blondes
